When u say fun times, do you mean great times. About time we get paid

You’re going to be junior the first couple of years in whatever seat you bid so bidding Captain at least pays you for the weekend work. After a couple of years you can bid to WB fo and get paid while having some seniority. Year one FO pays $116 regardless of equipment. Year one Captain almost triples that…

You don’t stay junior very long in a NB FO seat. Most categories you can hold a line within a month or two, and be as much as 20-30% by two years. A CA seat will be on weekend reserve basically that whole 2 years. It’s a HUGE difference in money, but it’s also a big QOL difference. To each their own…

That is what we thought when new hires were getting 777/787FO as their original assignment, then 6 months later they were holding a line!!

So, that which all of us old dudes experienced throughout our career does not have much relevance to what the new hires are experiencing today. Would I imagine that they will be on reserve for the full two years? yes I would, but I wouldn't put any money on it.
